Don’t you get nervous when someone hollers at you from their window as you stroll along a sidewalk? I’ve been encountering a lot of these incidents for the past few months, and I don’t know what to think.

Today, as I return to the office from getting Tim Horton’s, a man in the passenger seat decides to yell out this car window to tell me that I have a nice coffee mug. Mind you, I love my mug, but I found it peculiar that it would attract someone to actually tell me that from their car.

I mean, it doesn’t have diamonds on it or anything.

I pretended that I didn’t hear him, just because my initial reaction was that he did not have good intentions. But afterwards, I questionned whether he was teasing me about something else, or that he actually liked my mug.

I still think the former is more likely. What? Do I walk funny? Do I look vulnerable? What is it?

Does this happen to other people? Am I just paranoid?

This is why one must equip themselves with an iPod at all times. It puts an invisible shield around you.

It’s sad that such ‘armour’ is necessary.
